Gerry, Vicki, Sarah, and family,
I’m so sad to hear of Kim’s passing. I have many fond memories of her from my junior high Girl Scout days and then, into adulthood, as she and Gerry continued a lasting friendship with my parents. Kim was particularly special to my mom, who was always happy to see her at Lodge functions. I’m so grateful for the friendship they shared.
My heart is broken for you all and I’m sending you all my love!
Vicki and Family,
I am so sorry to hear about your mother’s passing. I pray that through the sorrow, you will find peace and joy in your memories of her. Please know that I will be praying for you and your family. Take gentle care.
